Pendant bezels and chains

Mount your embroidery in these silver-plated pendant bezels, and wear your embroidery proudly. They come in a range of sizes:

A: Fits 38mm diameter
B: Fits 25mm diameter
C: Fits 25 x 50mm
D: Fits 25mm square (this size used for pendant in Sardinian Knotted Embroidery)
E: Fits 35mm square

The chains are silver-plated zinc alloy. They are 50cm/20inches long, and have a lobster clasp.

When mounting embroideries into pendant bezels, I use *very strong* double sided, acid-free adhesive tape which I found at my local paper-craft store. You might also be able to use glue that adheres to both metal and fabric - you will need to test it.

To mount into square or rectangular bezels
Cut a piece of acid-free card slightly smaller than the size of the pendant tray. For a 35mm bezel, I cut my card 34mm square. Cut the embroidery so that it is 2cm larger than the card - 1cm on each side. Use a long piece of sewing-machine thread and lace the embroidery over the card, ensuring that the embroidery is centred. Firmly press the back of the embroidery onto adhesive in the bezel.

To mount into round bezels
Cut a circle of acid-free card slightly smaller than the size of the pendant tray. For a 38mm diameter bezel, I cut my card with a 37mm diameter. (Cut carefully so that it really does turn out round - details matter.) Cut the embroidery so that it is about 2cm larger than the card - 1cm extra around the edge. Stitch a line of running stitch 5mm in from the edge of the fabric. Gather the thread up tightly, ensure the embroidery is centred, then tie a strong knot. Trim the excess thread. Firmly press the back of the embroidery onto adhesive in the bezel.
